From my experience with a V8.

Ram a screw driver through the core plug then leaver it out, clean the mating surfaces meticulously.

Get some core plug gluing stuff (cant remember what I used) then glue a new core plug back in.

There is probably a more scientific explanation to follow but that is the crux of it.

Just as described by Ginge and use a good fitting socket or other to ensure they dont deform when you whack them back in and dont go too far in.

Thanks for the tips, :D

Have just ordered some plugs, will go see my local motor factors for some sealant at the weekend.
